Hans Rosling reframes 10 years of UN data with his spectacular visuals, lighting up an astonishing — mostly unreported — piece of front-page-worthy good news: We’re winning the war against child mortality. Along the way, he debunks one flawed approach to stats that blots out such vital stories.
measuring makes the diff from a political talk and making change happen

June 2014 at TEDSalon Berlin 2014:
Hans and Ola Rosling: How not to be ignorant about the world
5 min – the first thing to know about the future is to know about the present
the problem isn’t that people won’t listen to media – problem is media doesn’t know itself
Ola – why are we all so ignorant? we have a personal bias – from our neighborhood (personal bias), from outdated info in schools, news bias (focus on unusual)
so skewed info – then add on human intuition – we see causality where there is none
solve by measuring – the curing… – ignorance
1. sit down late night and learn all this
2. short cuts – turn intuition into strength – learn to generalize
ie: everything is getting worse, most things improve – pick the improve
using gdp – ugh

rip
___________
Factfulness (as frustrating read – skim) by Hans Rosling.. love the man.. rip.. but too many #s describing humanity..what about first error (describing not us)..getting us to black science of people.. and what is fact.. ie: recorded death by war/disease .. non recorded death by suicide/homelessness/disease-of-heart.. (& non recorded homeless et al).. recent ie.. puerto rico’s 5000.. et al
